Mälartorget, Pedestrian square in Gamla stan, Sweden
Mälartorget spreads across a paved area on the western waterfront of Stockholm's old town, facing Lake Mälaren with surrounding historical buildings.
The square emerged in the mid-19th century through land filling for harbor construction and served as an unloading point for agricultural products from Lake Mälaren.
A bronze sculpture titled 'Familjen' by Pye Engström stands in the square, featuring adjustable figures of a mother, father, and child created between 1972-1973.
The main exit of Gamla stan metro station opens directly onto Mälartorget, connecting visitors to multiple streets including Munkbrogatan and Tyska Brinken.
The location was formerly known as Flugmötet due to its function as a collection point for waste materials used in gunpowder production until the 1840s.
